Drives and Printers not accessible from Win 98

I have a peer to peer network connected through a
standard hub with a desktop running Win XP and a Laptop
running Win 98. I had this network running with no
problem before a hard drive crash on the Laptop. After
installing a new hard drive and reinstalling Win 98, the
network is not functioning properly. The Desktop can see
all shared data on the Laptop and access it. The Laptop
can see all shared folders and printers on the Desktop,
but when double clicking on the item icon a message pops
up reading

\\computer\sharedocs(or whatever) is not accessible.
Not enough memory is available. Quit some programs.

However, there is plenty of memory available. Norton
system doctor reads:
Mem Load - 51%
Dos Free - 517KB
PM Free - 35.8MB
VM Free - 1,863.5MB
User Free - 85%

Thanks in advance for your help.

That error message is very misleading. The problem is probably that
an antivirus program has changed an obscure TCP/IP setting. Please
see this Microsoft Knowledge Base article for a likely solution,
specifying a value of 15 for IRPStackSize on the desktop computer:

Antivirus Software May Cause Event ID 2011
